bellasofia: gorgeous girl gear

{ isabella dress, handbag, barrette, and bunny in mist toile }

ok, so you can tell by my picks -- i'm not usually frilly-girly. but oh, my soft spot for adorable children's clothing. it's so tiny and cute. just because i think a baby ramones tee is perfectly awesome doesn't mean i don't love a bit of dress-up, so over the next month or so will pick up some kid wedding stuff -- flower girls, ring bearers, babies, whatnot.

bellasofia, where were you when i was 7? i could never get away with this now (especially since i'm 6' tall* -- that's a lot of toile) -- i love the fullness of the pattern, just a classic, classic girl's dress. heirlooms indeed. plus there are all sorts of sweet matching girly things: handbags, barrettes, bunnies... the sashes look satisfyingly poofy... le sigh. and i'd be willing to bet she can make dresses to order in your colors -- check out her sold items as well for other items and fabrics available.
